Scott Fischman was born in Langhorne, Pennsylvania in 1981 and moved to Las Vegas in 1992. He started playing poker when he was 12 years old shortly after moving to Vegas and he loved the game so much, as soon as he turned 21, he became a dealer.
Just two years later, after having developed Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fischman had to give up dealing; it was then that he started playing poker professionally. Although he was no longer able to deal or play the sports he once loved, he found that playing poker didn't hurt, and in his debut year, 2004, he would earn more than half a million dollars playing poker professionally.
Fischman earned 2 WSOP bracelets in 2004 and immediately became the youngest person ever to have won 2 of the coveted bracelets. He won one in No Limit Hold'em and the other at H.O.R.S.E. In the three years comprising his professional poker career, Fischman has accomplished a great deal indeed.
He has won hundreds of online poker tournaments, sometimes playing for as much as 10 hours a day. In fact, he used his knowledge of online poker to write a book called, "Online Ace: A World Series of Poker Champion's Guide to Mastering Internet Poker".
Fischman can also be found playing in all the big brick and mortar tournaments and has been a big presence on televised poker games. He has been featured in several magazines and has his own online cardroom on the Doyle Brunson Network at The Fish Tank.com. During his brief but lucrative poker career, Fischman's total live tournament earnings add up to more than $1.9 million.
